USS Key West (SSN 722) returned home to Pearl Harbor yesterday after a 7 month WestPac. Although they originally deployed as part of the John C. Stennis Strike Group, it looks like they spent the whole time in the Pacific, doing "six national and theater-specific operations", while the rest of the JCSSG went to the CENTCOM AOR.
But now the Key West is home, and the returning heroes can reunite with their loving families or favorite couch and hopefully get a few well deserved weeks off.
